Simon Yam Tat Wah is the quintessential Hong Kong actor.

In a career exceeding 25 years, Yam has appeared in over 125 movies and more than

40 television series. Whether as hero or villain, supporting actor or leading man, Yam's

colorful screen persona has endured from his early days as a TV star to his eventual

position as a major figure in the exciting world of Hong Kong cinema.



Born in March 1955, Yam Tat Wah is the son of Hong Kong 's former police chief, who

died when he was eleven; and has a sister (Yam Yim Yi), and older brother (Peter

Yam Tat Wing, now Hong Hong's Assistant Police Commissioner). As a youth Simon

overcame poverty by modelling for print ads, appearing in commercials, and working in

sales. After completing high school, Yam enrolled in Television Broadcast Limited's

actor training courses, and soon became a regular of televised dramas, sitcoms,

martial arts period pieces, and soap operas.

His first series was the police drama CID, followed by a role as a gay character in the

domestic soap opera A House Is Not a Home. Other shows Yam performed in for TVB,

Hong Kong's largest television studio, include some of their most famous series-

The Shell Game, Man in the Net, Police Cadet II, The Return of the Condor Heroes,

The Smiling Proud Wanderer, and many others.

By the late 1970's Yam was already a household name, yet his contract with TVB

restricted the amount of outside projects he was able to accept. He continued with

the network until his contract finally expired in 1989. Opting not to renew, Simon Yam

was now a free agent, ready to concentrate his efforts on film work full time.

Though free from the confines of a binding contract, Yam was now solicited by various

triad film producers, who pressured him to participate in their work. As a 'name' actor,

Simon Yam was particularly appealling to low budget filmmakers such as Phillip Ko Fei, who

cast Yam in action movies filmed in such far flung locales as France , Thailand , Cyprus and

London. He reached his peak in the early 1990's, starring in an average of at least one film per month.

Simon Yam's movie debut was in the gangster picture Law Don (1979), but his fist starring film role was later that year in the groundbreaking New Wave erotic drama House of the Lute.
